Notwithstanding (Why You Must Sound Like You in Your Writing)

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

I was there as a tourist, so to speak. My roommate was asked to lecture on her area of expertise (set design) to a university class, and I was there to provide feedback and emotional support.  I was excited to hear her since I loved everything to do with drama and had always dreamed of […]

She Wouldn’t Share

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

When I was 15, I had a great summer job as a mother’s helper (similar to what the French call an au pair, or basically a glorified babysitter-cum-housekeeper). It was in a suburb of Boston with two well-behaved kids that I knew well. I also got to spend time with a group of kids I […]

It Didn’t Even Sound Like Her

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

It certainly wasn’t the way I would have done it.  I took an online course with a well-known author, who shared his writing process and how he had written three bestselling novels.  Someone asked about how he revised: did he rewrite directly on the page, or use the first file as a template to then […]

There we were, at the art opening of a friend of a friend: abstract oil and acrylic on canvas, plus some random photographs, at a bona fide art gallery in downtown Toronto. (Please don’t ask me the name of the gallery. . . I was in university at the time, way too young to pay […]

When You “Don’t Know What to Write.”

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

One of the best holidays I ever had was a side trip to Washington, DC, in my early 30s, while doing research for my PhD.  I spent my days at the University of Maryland in College Park, less than an hour from Washington. After hunkering down for eight hours a day in the bowels of […]

You Absolutely Can Do This

by Ricki Heller 2 Comments

I remember the first time I was asked to speak at a conference. My immediate thought was, “But I’m a writer, not a speaker! Who will want to listen to me? I’ve got nothing worthwhile to say. . .” Far too many of us fall into this trap of “I’m not good enough” when we […]
